100 Days to Seduce the Devil-Chapter 275 Got Caught

Day Thirty One...

~~*****~~

Both Abigail and Cherry were startled when Nathan mentioned their aliases. Little Ethan just looked at them with puzzlement in his eyes. He encountered Black Rose before but he never knew that Cherry was Black Rose. However, he was aware that Abigail was Cliste. This was one of their little secrets of Abigail and him.

Meanwhile, Nathan motioned the men in uniform at the back to arrest Cherry. This time he involved the police since Ethan was with them. He just wanted to detain Cherry for further interrogation.

"Miss Cherry, you have to come with us," one police officer spoke up as he approached Cherry and Abigail.

Abigail snapped out of her stupor when the police spoke up, separating Cherry from Ethan.

"Dad! What is the meaning of this?" Ethan questioned his father. He hit the hands of the police officer. He stepped forward and extended his two hands sideways as if he was shielding Cherry against the police.

Abigail also moved forward. She wouldn't let the police capture Cherry. She had to protect her. But Nathan signaled the bodyguards to hold Abigail and Ethan so that they wouldn't interfere with this arrest.

"Miss Cherry defies the law. She did illegal things so she should bear the consequences of her actions." Nathan said, explaining the situation to Ethan. "She is an infamous hacker, Ethan. Don't defend her," he added, looking daggers at Cherry.

Cherry was at a loss for words. She had never imagined that this day would comea��� police capturing her without fighting back. She was caught off guard by this sudden turn of events. According to Abigail, Nathan Sparks was supposed to be the one who would help them to see Phantomflake. But this situation was telling her the other way around.

'Damn! Should I run? But I am surrounded by Nathan's guards and policemen.' Cherry was contemplating what to do in this dire situation. For some unknown reason, Cherry reflexively glanced at Abigail, her eyes asking her what she should do.

Abigail, who didn't like what was happening right now, signaled Cherry to stay put. She smiled at her, reassuring her that she got her back. 'I will protect you. Nathan can't touch you!'

"You don't have to cuff her hands!" Abigail stopped the police. "She will follow you... obediently."

Those words were Abigail's cue to Cherry. She was telling her to come with them peacefully. Trusting Abigail wholeheartedly, Cherry obeyed her instruction. She willingly walked towards the police officer, without any intention of running away.

The police officer recited the Miranda rights before taking Cherry with them. Abigail and Little Ethan could only watch Cherry and her departing back. Cherry was just a few meters away from them when Veronica showed up. Before anyone could stop her, she moved toward Cherry and slapped her on her right cheek.

Pak!

Little Ethan: "Aunt!"

Abigail: "Cherry!" pan(da-n0vel.c)om

Hearing their shouts, Nathan turned around to check what was going on only to find Veronica making a scene in the hospital hallway. She attacked Cherry and the police officer failed to stop her. 𝒇𝑟e𝙚𝑤𝙚𝐛𝗻𝐨ν𝚎𝘭.c𝐨m

"You and your guild! A murderer!" Veronica slashed out at Cherry.

When Nathan heard that, he sprinted toward them, pulling Veronica away from Cherry. Abigail and Ethan followed them along with the guards. If not for Nathan's interference, the commotion would have continued.

"What are you doing here?" Nathan asked Veronic whom he was holding. "This is a hospital for goodness's sake. Don't make a scene here." Nathan scolded Veronica.

"That woman... belongs to the guild that killed my sister. How do you expect me to react?" Veronica spat back at him. Then she squinted her eyes the moment she saw Abigail. She was her original target but she knew she couldn't harm Abigail since Ethan was there and Nathan felt indebted to her. With that, she decided to vent her anger and frustration to Cherry.

When Abigail reached their spot, she immediately checked on Cherry. There was a slap mark on her right cheek. She even heard the loud smack of Veronica's hand hitting Cherry's cheek from afar. It was a hard slap.

"Are you okay?" Abigail asked Cherry worriedly. Little Ethan was standing next to her, grabbing Cherry's hand. They wanted to comfort her. It was so humiliating to be slapped in front of many people.

Cherry could only bob her head. She looked down while clenching her fists. She was just enduring it because she didn't want Abigail to get in trouble again because of her. 𝙛𝙧𝙚𝒆𝘸𝚎𝙗𝒏oν𝙚𝘭.𝐜𝒐m

"Who is that woman?" Cherry asked Abigail in a low voice. Cherry had no idea that Veronica was Monica's sister. The sister of the woman her sis Phantomflake killed before.

"Don't mind her. She is just a crazy jealous bitch," Abigail replied. Then she covered her lips using her left hand, realizing that Little Ethan was there. Veronica was still Ethan's Aunt. She shouldn't talk badly about her in front of Ethan. But to her surprise, Ethan just bobbed his head in support of her claim.

"Ethan, come here! Don't get close to them. They are the reasons why your mother died!" Veronica had forgotten to filter her words. She just felt annoyed since Ethan was still siding with the two women. She thought it was so unfair. Her own nephew didn't even defend her.

"Veronica. Stop it!" Nathan's cold deep voice reverberated in the hallway. He could understand Veronica's action of slapping Black Rose but he couldn't tolerate her involving his son in this conflict. She was bringing up the death of Ethan's mother. This was a sensitive topic he didn't want to mention especially in a public place like this.

"Aunt... What do you mean?" Ethan asked her in confusion.

Abigail's heart became anxious when Ethan started to ask Veronica. She was afraid that Veronica would tell Ethan something inappropriate that might affect her relationship with him.

'No, Ethan... don't listen to her...' Abigail murmured to herself as she folded her left hand into a fist. She was controlling her temper. If she had a chance, she would cut Veronica's tongue just to shut her up.

On the other hand, Veronica suddenly got a wake-up call when she met Nathan's sharp gaze. He was now emanating a dark and chilly aura.
